ptg16476052154 LESSON 7: Formatting Text with HTML and CSS
at creating web pages. If you use an HTML editor or some other help tool, your job will
be easier, but you’ll always seem to find mistakes. That’s what previewing is for—so you
can catch the problems before you actually make the document available to other people.
Plus, the more browsers that you view your pages in, the fewer problems your customers
will see.Summary
Tags, tags, and more tags! In this lesson, you learned about most of the remaining tags
in the HTML language for presenting text, and quite a few of the tags for additional text
formatting and presentation. You also put together a real-life HTML home page. You
could stop now and create quite presentable web pages, but more cool stuff is to come.
So, don’t put down the book yet.
Table 7.2 presents a quick summary of all the tags and attributes you’ve learned about in
this lesson. Table 7.3 summarizes the CSS properties that have been described in this les-
son.TABLE 7.2 HTML Tags from Lesson 7
